The Commission proposed to provide Italy with €3.3 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help 1,610 former workers at Almaviva Contact, a company operating in the call centre sector, find new jobs.

The European Commission has entered into further discussions with trade unions and
employers' organisations at EU level on how to modernise the rules on employment
contracts, in order to make these contracts fairer and more predictable for all types of
workers.
